I’ve my MacBook Professional (M2 Max) operating macOS Sequoia 15.7.1.
I’ve “AirPlay receiver” turned on in settings. I would love to have the ability to current one thing from my iPhone to the MacBook Professional over AirPlay.
Each time I attempt to join by way of AirPlay from the iPhone, it simply says “Unable to hook up with {mac title}.” It does not matter if I attempt to share the entire display, or simply attempt to ship some audio from the Podcasts app, or what. Similar error each time.
It does not matter what choices I choose on the Mac aspect for the AirPlay receiver. (Require password, who’s allowed to AirPlay, and so forth.) The error happens even when I set it to the “loosest” doable settings. The one factor that makes a distinction is popping off the AirPlay receiver totally, which (naturally) causes the Mac to not seem to different units as an AirPlay goal. But when I flip it again on, it nonetheless doesn’t work, I get the identical error.
I attempted it from an iPad that belongs to another person and so they get the identical error. So, it appears to be one thing with my Mac. Each the iPhone and iPad can AirPlay to different units like my Apple TV with out difficulty. (…The Mac can also AirPlay out, it’s simply “receiving” content material that does not work.)
I discovered a Reddit thread about this and the suggestion that appeared to work for lots of people was simply to log each units out of iCloud after which log them again in. I did this, and it was a ache (must arrange Pockets playing cards once more, some apps wanted iCloud file sync stuff arrange once more, and so forth.) — and ultimately, it did not assist, I nonetheless get the identical error.
I additionally tried it from a distinct account on the Mac and that makes no distinction, similar error.
It was working positive just a few months in the past. I do not know what modified to interrupt it. Any concepts on learn how to resolve this error?
